Kraft Process
The kraft process (also known as kraft pulping or sulfate process) is a process for conversion of wood into wood pulp, which consists of almost pure cellulose fibres, the main component of paper. The kraft process involves treatment of wood chips with a hot mixture of water, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and sodium sulfide (Na2S), known as white liquor, that breaks the bonds that link lignin, hemicellulose, and cellulose. The technology entails several steps, both mechanical and chemical. It is the dominant method for producing paper. In some situations, the process has been controversial because kraft plants can release odorous products and in some situations produce substantial liquid wastes. The process name is derived from the German word ''wikt:Kraft#German, Kraft'', meaning "strength" in this context, due to the strength of the kraft paper produced using this process. History A precursor of the kraft process was used during the Napoleonic Wars in England. The kraft process ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
